ItsMeNickG’s Black Beauty FL5 Build

[ItsMeNickG]

Installed Hondata Canflex a few weeks ago and have been pleased with the performance. Will be taking her in for valve cover gasket replacement under warranty and for the recall this weekend .

Put on the front and rear EVS Tuning tow hooks:

I have the EVS front still in box did you have to cut or modify anything to get it to fit by chance

You just have to cut a chunk of the plastic off that’s connected to the bumper support.

Gotcha, thanks. Ill look at it more when I'm ready to install. The only video I could find on it was one from Gridzilla and he struggled with it

If you need more guidance let me know! The plastic piece that I had to cut is actually completely removed now due to my splitter brackets. You can just remove it completely if anything and save it so you don’t have to cut it.

Hey came across your build while searching for pics of the ML10RT. Looks awesome on your FL5 - considering the 19x9.5 fitment in race silver for my white DE5. Have you been happy with them since replacing your previous (also great looking) setup?

So far so good! Just a pain to clean haha.

Hi.
I was checking out these wheels on the Apex website. They do look really nice. Gotta love the "Bimmer Touring Wheel" style. Makes the aready elegant FL5 look even more refined.

Plus, Deep Dish is full on Boss Mode!!!

Two things holding me back:

1. The whole Made in China aspect. I know that Apex follows a very strict manufacturing proccess in China, but still... my own personal bias.

and

2. They look like an absolute beeyotch to keep clean!

Regardless, these Apex wheels look great on your car, and I hope they last you a good long time.

Cheers.

Apex wheels are light forged track focused wheels. Im sure theres a few guys on here that can contest the quality. Theres a few other manufacturers that have that style of wheel if you want that look. @Sporky McGeuschky

How did you get them Rpf1 to fit. I don't really want to buy a second set of Regamasters those would work just fine lol

For sure these are! Haha. I have my set of Titan7’s as the daily wheels.
